Personal Anecdote: I had a debian server running, It had an uptime of 400 days and I wanted to get to 500 before restarting it to update the kernel, I was being silly, and too cocky about it being a linux system. You may not need a virus scanner per se, but you sure do need to keep your system up to date and secure (good passwords and system practices - permissions etc) Having it do full system scans can be a battery drain.Ī very important element of a virus scanner is having it updated with new signatures, so pick the package that has the best signature updates, and that works best for how you want to use it. It is all about how paranoid you are, and how likely you are to get a virus.įor your laptop I would suggest only having the scanner scan downloads and when you are brining files from another computer. If you want you can have it do regular full system scans too. A good strategy is to have your scanner just scan downloads or if you are bringing a file from another computer on a USB drive or floppy disk (assuming you have one).

Strategy: If you are really careful and know what you are doing you can get away without a scanner. But it could probably still access your address book or saved passwords in Firefox (user level access). You can actually run Windows without a virus scanner if you keep it patched and are really careful.ĭifferences from Windows to Linux for viruses: On Linux it is harder for the virus to get root (or system) level access. Different platforms are more secure than others, but a virus can typically gain user level security, which is often good enough, on most platforms. There are viruses for most all platforms ( the first worm was for DEC VAX), they are just more common on Windows.
